SC369, " Strength "
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: wendy2512

 This is for today's neat sketch challenge. I had to give it a try . I really felt in a dark and warmer mood so went with a " man-card"...I think I must be sick...in the mood for browns...lol...Must have been thinking of PAT..(smethers)...as she loves them and got me to liking them to with her beautiful creations.
So I started with this strong stallion, colored hime with water colors andpen, mounted it on this lovely fleur-de leis That I got form a sweet dear friend, I sponged it in browns to match my horse more and then added a touch of black around the edges to to give it not sure what to call it a rustic look or older.
Then I cut my dps and added them . the side strip did not quite match so I sponged more of the same brown I did on the horse and jsut gave it a closer matching shade which worked...yah...lol...:0) added teh brads in the top corner and decided to add ones along the corners of my " wooden" edge...I am quite happy how it turned out as man -cards for me are harder to make ( not even sure why )
Thanks for visiting...been a crazy few days so has been nice to get a card done, helps to relax...take care all...:0)

I think you achieved your goal...a wonderful "man card" in browns. Love your various tones of brown and the framing for your stallion.

Everything about your card makes this stallion stand out, and that's what it's suppose to do! I had to laugh reading your write-up; brown isn't one of those "fun to use" colors! I find it hard also. When my son asked me to make a wedding card for a friend, and the colors were brown and gold, now that was a challenge! Great man card~

Haven't met a horse card I didn't like, lovely layout (Pat is inspiring), and certainly masculine looking....hope you feel better soon.

Wow this turned out beautifully. The dramatic horse image on the sponged panel looks great in the fancy frame.
